Just back from a successful four-day Northern Wheatear sampling fieldtrip on Ouessant Island (21 breeding birds sampled) for @reto-burri.bsky.social and @vogelwarte.bsky.social’s genoscape project. The only drawback was dipping the first White-winged Lark for France back home...
Size (+10 g) and color comparaison between nominate breeding (right) and leucorhoa migrating (left) N Wheatears.Stunning field sites.

Great start for a new side project focussing on Alpine accentor altitudinal migration! The project is based on multi-sensor logger deployement (6 birds tagged today out of 8 planned for this year) and is made possible by a small field research grant. @pauldufour80.bsky.social
